Police in Mali March 8 hunted for the killers of two Europeans and three Malians in a jihadist attack on a nightclub, as a deadly assault on a UN barracks in the north heightened security concerns.
      

At least three people were killed when unknown attackers fired rockets at a UN base on the outskirts of the town of Kidal in northern Mali, international newswires reported.

The attack that took place before dawn on Sunday comes a day after assailants armed with machine guns and grenades attacked a nightclub in Mali's capital Bamako, killing five people.

The United Nations Security Council has strongly condemned an attack in Bamako that killed five people on Saturday.

The machine-gun and grenade attack in Mali's capital left a French citizen, a Belgian security officer and three Malians dead and nine others wounded, international newswires quoted witnesses as saying.

Three Europeans were shot dead at a nightclub in Mali's capital early March 7 in a suspected terror attack that came with the government at a key stage of peace talks with militants in the restive north.
